Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are one embodiment, but not all embodiments, of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by a person skilled in the art without creative efforts, based on the described embodiments of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
It is to be noted that unless otherwise defined, technical or scientific terms used herein should be taken in a general sense as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs.
In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless explicitly defined otherwise.
Referring to fig. 1 to 4, a joint assembling apparatus for a radioactive tubular sample 700 provided in an embodiment of the present application includes: a sample holding mechanism 100, a joint pre-assembly mechanism 200, a joint tightening mechanism 300, and a sample transfer mechanism 400.
In some embodiments, the sample retention mechanism 100, the joint pre-assembly mechanism 200, the joint tightening mechanism 300, and the sample transport mechanism 400 may all be mounted on the same panel 10.
In other embodiments, the sample retention mechanism 100, the joint pre-assembly mechanism 200, the joint tightening mechanism 300, and the sample transfer mechanism 400 may each be mounted on different panels.
The sample holding mechanism 100 is for holding a radioactive tubular sample 700.
The radioactive tubular sample 700 (hereinafter simply referred to as tubular sample 700) is a hollow tube. In some embodiments, the tubular sample 700 may be, for example, a cladding tube for a nuclear reactor. The cladding tube may be a cladding tube after nuclear radiation and with internal nuclear fuel removed.
The tubular sample 700 has two opposing open ports, one port of the tubular sample 700 facing upward when the sample holding mechanism 100 holds the tubular sample 700. In other words, when the sample holding mechanism 100 holds the tubular sample 700, the tubular sample 700 extends vertically.
The joint pre-assembly mechanism 200 is used to grasp the joint 800 and pre-assemble the joint 800 with the port of the tubular sample 700 facing upward.
The two connectors 800 that are assembled with the two ports of the tubular sample 700 are structurally different. One of the connectors 800 is a connector (or referred to as a plug) for sealing one port of the tubular sample 700; the other connector 800 is a pressure connector (or referred to as a high-pressure connector) for filling the inside of the tubular sample 700 with a pressure medium.
Referring to fig. 5, a sealed joint 800 is provided at one end of a tubular sample 700, and a pressure joint 800' is provided at the other end of the tubular sample 700. The pressure fitting 800' has a threaded interface 840. The threaded interface 840 is adapted for sealing connection with a pressure interface.
The end face of the threaded interface 840 is provided with a frustoconical surface tapering outwardly in diameter, the circumferential surface of the frustoconical surface being a conical surface. The middle part of the circular table is provided with an air inlet 841 communicated with the inside of the tubular sample 700. After the tubular sample 700 is sealingly connected to the pressure port via the pressure connector 800', pressure medium from the pressure port is supplied to the inside of the tubular sample 700 via the air inlet 841.
The joint 800 includes a fixed portion 810 and a rotating portion 820 screw-coupled with the fixed portion 810. The rotation part 820 is rotatable with respect to the fixing part 810, and the joint 800 and the tubular sample 700 can be tightened by rotation of the rotation part 820. The joint 800 is a structure that is relatively common in the internal pressure test, and will not be described here.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, both the fixed portion 810 and the rotating portion 820 have a hexagonal structure.
The joint tightening mechanism 300 is used to tighten the pre-assembled joint 800 with the tubular sample 700.
Referring to fig. 6, the sample transfer mechanism 400 includes a rotating portion 420 and a clamping portion 410 disposed on the rotating portion 420. The clamping part 410 is used for clamping the tubular sample 700, and the rotating part 420 is used for driving the clamping part 410 to rotate in the horizontal plane so as to transfer the tubular sample 700 from the sample holding mechanism 100 (i.e. the joint pre-assembling station) to the joint tightening mechanism 300 (i.e. the automatic tightening station).
According to the joint assembly device, through the arrangement of the sample holding mechanism 100, the joint pre-assembly mechanism 200, the joint tightening mechanism 300 and the sample transferring mechanism 400, automatic assembly of the joint 800 of the tubular sample 700 can be achieved, manual intervention is not needed in the whole assembly process, and therefore assembly efficiency is greatly improved.
The clamp 410 may be configured to: the tubular sample 700 is clamped when the joint pre-assembly mechanism 200 pre-loads the joint 800 with the port of the tubular sample 700 facing upward. That is, when the joint pre-assembly mechanism 200 pre-assembles the joint 800 with the upward facing port of the tubular sample 700, the tubular sample 700 is held by both the sample holding mechanism 100 and the clamping portion 410, thereby ensuring that the tubular sample 700 remains stable during pre-assembly, which is advantageous for improving the pre-assembly efficiency and efficiency.
Because the internal pressure test has a high sealing requirement on the joint 800, the tightening force of the manipulator operation cannot be guaranteed to meet the use requirement, so that the quality of the assembly between the cladding tube sample and the joint 800 is low. In the embodiment of the present application, the specific torque tightening can be achieved by the joint tightening mechanism 300, and the assembly quality is ensured.
The sample transfer mechanism 400 may include a clamp drive for driving the clamp 410 to clamp or unclamp the tubular sample 700. The grip portion 410 is connected to a grip driving portion provided on the rotation portion 420, so that the grip portion 410 is indirectly provided on the rotation portion 420 through the grip driving portion. In some embodiments, the clamping portion 410 may be a clamping jaw and the clamping drive portion may be a clamping jaw cylinder 450. In other embodiments, the clamping drive may also be a motor.
The sample transfer mechanism 400 further includes a rotation driving portion, and the rotation portion 420 is connected to the rotation driving portion. The rotation driving part is used for driving the rotation part 420 to rotate around the vertical shaft in the horizontal plane. In some embodiments, the rotary drive may be a rotary cylinder 470. In other embodiments, the rotary drive may also be a motor.
In some embodiments, the sample transfer mechanism 400 may further include a flipping portion 430, and the clamping portion 410 is disposed on the rotating portion 420 through the flipping portion 430. The turning part 430 is used for driving the clamping part 410 to turn 180 degrees in a vertical plane after one port of the tubular sample 700 is screwed with the joint 800, so that the other port of the tubular sample 700 faces upwards, and the other port is assembled.
In such an embodiment, the sample transfer mechanism 400 has three functions, sample clamping, sample transfer, and sample flipping. The connector assembling device of the embodiment of the application, through making the sample transferring mechanism 400 include the turnover part 430, can automatically assemble the connector 800 at the other end after the connector 800 at one end of the tubular sample 700 is assembled, and is very convenient.
It is easily understood that before the turning part 430 is turned, the turning part 430 may be turned to the turning station by the turning part 420 and then turned. At the flipping station, the flipping portion 430 does not interfere with other components when the clamping portion 410 and the tubular specimen 700 are flipped.
The sample transfer mechanism 400 further includes a flip drive for driving the grip portion 410 to flip 180 degrees in a vertical plane about a horizontal axis. The inversion driving part may be an inversion cylinder 460. In other embodiments, the flip drive may be a motor.
Referring to fig. 6, the jaw is disposed on the jaw cylinder 450, and the jaw cylinder 450 is disposed on the turn-over portion 430; the turning part 430 is disposed on the turning cylinder 460, and the turning cylinder 460 is disposed on the rotating part 420; the rotating part 420 is provided on the revolving cylinder 470. The jaw cylinder 450 drives the jaws through the air source for sample gripping and the fitting pre-assembly mechanism 200 is engaged for pre-assembly of the fitting 800 with the tubular sample 700. The rotary cylinder 470 is driven by the air source to rotate 90 ° each time, and can rotate 360 ° at maximum. The rotary cylinder 470 rotates with the jaw cylinder 450, and transfers the tubular sample 700 held by the jaws between the joint preassembling station, the turning station, and the automatic tightening station. After one end fitting 800 is tightened, the turning cylinder 460 drives the jaw cylinder 450 to turn 180 ° and then is transported back to the fitting preassembly station by the turning cylinder 470 to preassemble the other end fitting 800.
In some embodiments, the sample transport mechanism 400 may further comprise a vertical drive for driving the gripping portion 410 to move vertically. When it is desired to remove the tubular sample 700 from the sample holding mechanism 100, the tubular sample 700 may be gripped by the gripping portion 410, and then the tubular sample 700 may be lifted upward from the sample holding mechanism 100 by the vertical driving portion, so that the tubular sample 700 is separated from the sample holding mechanism 100, and the tubular sample 700 is transported to another station by the sample transporting mechanism 400.
Since the grip portion 410 is vertically adjustable in height, the tubular sample 700 is also facilitated to be engaged with the joint tightening mechanism 300 when the rotation portion 420 rotates the tubular sample 700 to the joint tightening mechanism 300.
Referring to fig. 6, the sample transport mechanism 400 may further include a support panel 480 and a bracket 490. The support panel 480 is mounted to the bracket 490 by a slide bar that extends vertically. The vertical driving part drives the clamping part 410 to move vertically by driving the support panel 480 to move along the slide bar. In some embodiments, the vertical drive is a lift cylinder 440. In other embodiments, the vertical drive may be a motor.
In some embodiments, the fitting assembly device further comprises: the joint holding mechanism 600 is used for holding at least one joint 800 to be assembled. The splice holding mechanism 600 is arranged in a lateral direction with the sample holding mechanism 100. The splice pre-assembly mechanism 200 is located on one lateral side of the splice holding mechanism 600 and the sample holding mechanism 100. That is, the joint pre-assembly mechanism 200 is disposed facing both the joint holding mechanism 600 and the sample holding mechanism 100. Alternatively, the adaptor holding mechanism 600 and the sample holding mechanism 100 are considered as a single body, and the adaptor pre-assembling mechanism 200 is arranged longitudinally with the single body.
In the embodiment of the present application, the transverse direction may refer to the x-axis direction in fig. 3 and 7, the longitudinal direction may refer to the y-axis direction in fig. 3 and 7, and the vertical direction may refer to the z-axis direction in fig. 7.
Referring to fig. 7 and 8, the splice holding mechanism 600 can include a plurality of receiving slots 610, each receiving slot 610 for receiving one of the splices 800. The receiving grooves 610 are arranged in a lateral direction. The tubular sample 700 held by the sample holding mechanism 100 is positioned on the same line as the receiving grooves 610 extending in the lateral direction, thereby facilitating the operation of the joint pre-assembly mechanism 200.
The size of the receiving slots 610 may not be exactly the same, thereby receiving different sized connectors 800.
Referring to fig. 7 and 9, the joint pre-assembly mechanism 200 includes: a gripping portion 210, a vertical driving portion 220, and a lateral driving portion 230.
The gripping portion 210 is located directly above the joint holding mechanism 600 or the sample holding mechanism 100 for gripping the joint 800. The vertical driving part 220 is used for driving the grabbing part 210 to move vertically. The lateral driving part 230 is connected to the gripping part 210 for driving the gripping part 210 to move in the lateral direction so that the gripping part 210 can move to a position directly above any one of the receiving grooves 610 and to a position directly above the tubular sample 700 held by the sample holding mechanism 100.
The vertical driving portion 220 is connected to the lateral driving portion 230, and the lateral driving portion 230 drives the vertical driving portion 220 to slide along the lateral direction. The vertical driving part 220 may drive the grabbing part 210 to vertically slide with respect to the slide bar 250.
The vertical driving portion 220 is configured to drive the grabbing portion 210 to move vertically to grab the joint 800 received in the receiving groove 610 when the grabbing portion 210 moves directly above the receiving groove 610, and drive the grabbing portion 210 to move vertically to sleeve the joint 800 to one port of the tubular sample 700 to finish preassembly when the grabbing portion 210 grabs the joint 800 and moves directly above the tubular sample 700.
The lateral drive portion 230 is mounted on a bracket 240.
Referring to fig. 8, the sample holding mechanism 100 may be a pneumatic chuck configured to hold tubular samples 700 of different diameters.
Referring to fig. 10, the joint tightening mechanism 300 includes: a clamping portion 310 and a tightening portion 320. The clamping portion 310 is used to clamp the fixing portion 810 of the joint 800. The tightening part 320 is disposed right above the clamping part 310, and is used to cooperate with the rotating part 820 of the joint 800 to drive the rotating part 820 to rotate, so as to tighten the joint 800 and the tubular sample 700.
In some embodiments, the joint tightening mechanism 300 may further include: a vertical driving part 330. The vertical driving part 330 is used for driving the tightening part 320 to move vertically relative to the clamping part 310 after the clamping part 310 clamps the fixing part 810 of the joint 800, so that the tightening part 320 is engaged with the rotating part 820 of the joint 800.
The vertical driving part 330 may be a motor. In other embodiments, the vertical drive 330 may be a cylinder.
The vertical driving part 330 may drive the tightening part 320 to move vertically along the vertical slideway 350. The vertical slide 350 is fixedly disposed on the base 380. The tightening part 320 may be fixedly connected to the sliding part 370, and the sliding part 370 may be slidably disposed on the vertical slideway 350.
Tightening portion 320 may be an adaptive sleeve to avoid possible positional deflection of joint 800. The joint tightening mechanism 300 further includes a rotation driving part 360 for driving the tightening part 320 to rotate, thereby tightening the joint 800. The rotation driving part 360 may be a motor. The assembly quality of the tubular sample 700 can be better ensured by presetting the torque of the motor torque adjustable joint 800 when being screwed down.
The clamping portion 310 may be fixedly disposed on the base 380. The clamping portion 310 may include two clamping jaws. The joint tightening mechanism 300 may include a jaw cylinder for driving the two jaws of the clamping portion 310 to open and close. Because the clamping force provided by the jaw cylinder is slightly less than sufficient to ensure a relatively static holding portion 810 during tightening, the joint tightening mechanism 300 may further include: the holding portion 340. The clamping portion 340 is used for clamping the clamping portion 310 after the clamping portion 310 clamps the fixing portion 810 of the joint 800, so as to prevent the fixing portion 810 from rotating during tightening.
In some embodiments, the catch 340 may have a wrench structure. The clamping portion 340 may be fixedly connected with the tightening portion 320, and when the vertical driving portion 330 drives the tightening portion 320 to move vertically downward with respect to the clamping portion 310, the clamping portion 340 moves downward to clamp the clamping portion 310. When the vertical driving part 330 drives the tightening part 320 to move vertically upward with respect to the clamping part 310, the catching part 340 moves upward to be disengaged from the clamping part 310.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 10, both the clamping portion 340 and the tightening portion 320 are fixedly connected to the sliding portion 370, so that the clamping portion 340 and the tightening portion 320 move up and down simultaneously when the vertical driving portion 330 drives the sliding portion 370 to move up and down along the vertical slideway 350.
The joint tightening mechanism 300, the sample transfer mechanism 400, and the sample holding mechanism 100 are arranged in the lateral direction, with the sample transfer mechanism 400 being located between the joint tightening mechanism 300 and the sample holding mechanism 100.
Specifically, referring to fig. 2, the rotation axis of the tightening part 320 of the joint tightening mechanism 300, the rotation axis of the rotation part 420 of the sample transfer mechanism 400, and the axis of the air chuck of the sample holding mechanism 100 are coplanar in the lateral direction, so that the rotation of the rotation part 420 of the sample transfer mechanism 400 by 180 degrees transfers the tubular sample 700 from the sample holding mechanism 100 to the joint tightening mechanism 300.
In order to reduce the volume of the cladding tube sample that needs to be filled with pressure medium when the cladding tube is subjected to an internal pressure test, a filling mandrel may be inserted into the cladding tube. Particularly when the pressure medium is gas, the gas compression ratio is large, so that the amount of gas required in filling is large. After the mandrel occupies a part of the volume in the cladding tube, the using amount of filling gas can be reduced, so that the test is easier to develop and control, and a large amount of pressure medium (gas and liquid) can be prevented from being released into the high-temperature furnace after the cladding tube sample is broken, so that the damage of thermal shock to the high-temperature furnace is reduced.
The mandrel is generally cylindrical. The end of the mandrel is provided with a chamfer, and the circumferential surface of the mandrel is provided with a plurality of grooves parallel to the axis, so that pressure medium can flow conveniently. The inner diameter of the cladding tube is typically small, for example less than 10mm, or around 10 mm. The diameter of the mandrel is slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the cladding tube. A plurality of mandrels may be axially loaded into each cladding tube. For example, for a 120mm cladding tube, the interior is filled with approximately 11 mandrels of length 10 mm.
In the related art, the filling of the mandrel is typically performed by an operator operating a robot outside the hot chamber. In the operation process, the problems of difficulty in alignment, small sizes of the cladding tube and the mandrel, visual angle caused by hot-chamber lead glass and the like exist in the operation of the manipulator, so that the filling process is time-consuming and labor-consuming. In addition, the pipe orifice of the cladding pipe is easy to be broken when the core shaft is filled by the manipulator, and air leakage is easy to occur when the cladding pipe sample is assembled in a sealing way in the later period, so that an internal pressure test is difficult to carry out.
Accordingly, the joint assembly device of the present embodiment further includes a mandrel loading mechanism 500 for loading the mandrel into the tubular sample 700 after the sample transfer mechanism 400 flips the grip portion 410.
The rotating portion 420 of the sample transferring mechanism 400 is further configured to rotate the clamping portion 410 in a horizontal plane to transfer the tubular sample 700 to the mandrel filling mechanism 500 (i.e., the filling station).
Referring to fig. 11 and 12, the mandrel charging mechanism 500 includes: a bracket, a funnel 520 and an elastic member 530.
The bracket is provided with a through hole, and the funnel 520 is arranged at the through hole.
In the present embodiment, only one mandrel 900 is filled at a time. After the mandrel 900 in the funnel 520 enters the tubular sample 700, the manipulator places another mandrel 900 into the funnel 520 for further filling.
In some embodiments, the upper end opening of the tapered section 521 may be greater than the length of the mandrel 900 to facilitate placement of the mandrel 900 therein by a robot. It will be readily appreciated that when the manipulator places the mandrel 900 into the cone section 521, the mandrel 900 may be laterally positioned within the cone section 521 and not slide down smoothly into the outlet section 522 (i.e., the mandrel 900 resides within the cone section 521).
In the present embodiment, in order to enable the retained mandrel 900 to slide down smoothly into the outlet section 522, in particular, the outlet section 522 is mounted within the through bore and is configured to operably slide down the through bore when the mandrel 900 within the tapered section 521 is retained.
The elastic member 530 serves to provide an upward restoring force to the funnel 520 when the outlet section 522 slides down the through hole, so that the mandrel 900 retained in the cone section 521 can be slid into the outlet section 522 after being sprung up for replacement. The elastic member 530 may be, for example, a spring. In other embodiments, the elastic member 530 may be other conventional structures capable of providing a reverse restoring force.
Specifically, when the mandrel 900 stays in the conical section 521, the manipulator presses down the funnel 520 to enable the outlet section 522 to slide down relative to the through hole, then the manipulator moves away quickly, the funnel 520 rebounds instantaneously under the action of the elastic member 530, at this time, the mandrel 900 in the funnel 520 is also sprung together, and the sprung mandrel 900 slides down to the outlet section 522 smoothly along the conical section 521 with a high probability after changing the posture.
By rotation of the rotating portion 420, the clamping portion 410 can be located at a position directly below the outlet section 522 (i.e., mandrel filling station).
It can be seen that the manipulator in the embodiment of the present invention only needs to place the mandrel 900 in the conical section 521 of the funnel 520, and the mandrel 900 can be introduced into the tubular sample 700 through the funnel 520 without directly placing the mandrel 900 into the tubular sample 700 with a smaller inner diameter. Even if the mandrel 900 is accidentally placed horizontally in the conical section 521, the mandrel 900 cannot slide down smoothly into the outlet section 522, the mandrel 900 can be sprung up to change the posture only by pressing the funnel 520 by a manipulator, and the mandrel 900 can slide down into the outlet section 522 with high probability under the guiding action of the conical section 521 due to the chamfer at the end of the mandrel 900, so as to enter the tubular sample 700.
Referring to fig. 12, in some embodiments, funnel 520 further comprises: the curved surface section 523 is connected with the upper end of the conical surface section 521, and the curved surface section 523 protrudes inwards in the radial direction. It will be readily understood that "the curved surface section 523 is convex in the radial direction" means that when the upper and lower ends of the curved surface section 523 are connected by a tapered surface, the midpoint of the curved surface section 523 is located inside the tapered surface (i.e., the side closer to the axis). By arranging the funnel 520 to include the curved surface section 523 and the conical surface section 521 which are sequentially connected from top to bottom, compared with arranging the upper part of the outlet section 522 of the funnel 520 to be the conical surface section 521, the curved surface section 523 is more beneficial to keeping the posture that the mandrel 900 slides obliquely and vertically along the conical surface section 521, so that the probability that the mandrel 900 is transversely arranged on the conical surface section 521 is reduced. In other words, curved section 523 and tapered section 521 in combination are more advantageous for smooth sliding down of mandrel 900 to outlet section 522, reducing the probability that mandrel 900 will lie across tapered section 521.
It is easy to understand that, in the embodiment of the present application, the radially inner surface of the funnel 520 is smooth, and the adjacent two of the curved surface section 523, the conical surface section 521 and the outlet section 522 are in smooth transition connection.
The spring (i.e., the elastic member 530) is sleeved over the outlet section 522 of the funnel 520. The bottom of the outlet section 522 of the funnel 520 protrudes downwardly through the aperture. Radially outward of the bottom of the outlet section 522 is an outer annular groove 5221 for a mounting collar (not shown). The collar acts to prevent funnel 520 from backing out of the through hole when funnel 520 is moved upward under the action of the spring.
In some embodiments, the bottom of the outlet section 522 is formed with an enlarged section 5222 of increased diameter. An outer ring groove 5221 is formed radially outward of the expansion section 5222. The expansion section 5222 is used to receive the upper port of the tubular sample 700, thereby facilitating smooth sliding of the mandrel 900 into the tubular sample 700. The expansion section 5222 is formed with an inner ring groove 5223 on the radially inner side for placing a rubber ring (not shown) so as to clamp the upper end of the tubular specimen 700 with the rubber ring.
In some embodiments, the mandrel charging mechanism 500 includes: a plurality of funnels 520 and a plurality of elastic members 530. For example, the mandrel filling mechanism 500 may include 2, 3, 4, 5, and more hoppers 520.
The support of the mandrel charging mechanism 500 is provided with a plurality of through holes. The number of through holes and funnels 520 is the same. Each funnel 520 is mounted at one of the through holes.
In some embodiments, when the number of hoppers 520 is multiple, the inner diameter of the outlet section 522 of each hopper 520 is different for filling mandrels 900 of different diameters, respectively.
In some embodiments, the support of the spindle loading mechanism 500 may include a base 511 and a rotatable plate 512 rotatably disposed on the base 511. Through holes are formed on the rotating disk 512, i.e., the hopper 520 is provided on the rotating disk 512.
By rotation of the rotating portion 420 and the rotating disc 512, the clamping portion 410 is enabled to be located at a position directly below the outlet section 522 of either funnel 520.
The rotating disk 512 may include a central portion 5121 and a plurality of extensions 5122 extending outwardly from the central portion 5121. Wherein the central portion 5121 is rotatably provided on the base 511, and each of the extending portions 5122 is formed with a through hole. Each funnel 520 is disposed on the extension 5122 to facilitate placement of the tubular sample 700 under the extension 5122.
Specifically, when loading the mandrel, the rotating portion 420 rotates to place the clamping portion 410 in the mandrel loading station. The robot can rotate the hopper 520 to be used to the filling station. At this loading station, the tubular sample 700 held by the holding portion 410 is aligned with the outlet section 522. The loading of the mandrel 900 is performed by the actuation of the lift cylinder 440 which moves the open end of the tubular sample 700 upwardly into the outlet section 522 of the funnel 520. After filling, the open end of the tubular sample 700 is moved downwardly out of the outlet section 522 by actuation of the lift cylinder 440.
The working flow of the joint fitting device according to the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Material placement step S1: the two types of connectors 800 are placed in the receiving grooves 610 of the connector holding mechanism 600, respectively, by a robot, and then the tubular sample 700 is clamped on the air chuck to wait for pre-assembly.
Step S2 of pre-assembling the joint: the gripping part 210 is driven by the transverse driving part 230 of the joint pre-assembling mechanism 200 to move above a specific joint 800, the gripping part 210 is driven by the vertical driving part 220 to descend, the joint 800 is gripped, then the gripping part 210 is driven by the transverse driving part 230 to transversely translate to be right above the tubular sample 700, then the gripping part 210 is driven by the vertical driving part 220 to descend, the joint 800 is sleeved at the upper end part of the tubular sample 700, and the pre-assembling of the joint 800 is completed. The gripping portion 410 of the sample transfer mechanism 400 remains gripping the tubular sample 700 while the tubular sample 700 is preassembled with the connector 800 using the connector preassembly mechanism 200.
Sample transfer step S3: after the tubular sample 700 is preassembled with the connector 800, the lifting cylinder 440 of the sample transfer mechanism 400 is lifted up, so that the clamping part 410 drives the tubular sample 700 to be taken out from the air chuck of the connector holding mechanism 600; the revolving cylinder 470 rotates 180 deg. to reach the joint tightening mechanism 300 position.
And (4) joint tightening step S4: the clamping part 310 of the joint tightening mechanism 300 clamps the tubular sample 700, the vertical driving part 330 drives the sleeve to descend, the rotating part 820 of the joint 800 sleeved on the end part of the tubular sample 700, and the clamping part 340 clamps the clamping part 310; the rotation driving part 360 starts to drive the sleeve to rotate, and stops rotating after reaching the set torque, so that the final assembly of the joint 800 and the tubular sample 700 is realized.
Sample overturning step S5: inverting the tubular sample 700 with the inverting portion 430 of the sample transfer mechanism 400 such that the other port of the tubular sample 700 faces upward;
and (6) mandrel filling step S6: the tubular sample 700 is rotated to the loading station by the rotating portion 420 of the sample transfer mechanism 400. The rotating disk 512 of the mandrel filling mechanism 500 is rotated to rotate the predetermined funnel 520 to the filling station, where the port of the tubular sample 700 is aligned with the outlet section 522. By manually operating the manipulator, the mandrel 900 is plunged into the funnel 520, causing the mandrel 900 to fall down the funnel 520 into the interior of the tubular sample 700.
Thereafter, the tubular sample 700 is placed on an air chuck, and steps S2 to S4 are repeated to complete the assembly of the joints 800 at both ends of the tubular sample 700.
It should also be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, the features of the embodiments of the present invention and the features of the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other to obtain new embodiments without conflict.
